From Rosenthal through the Bielatal region to the Schweizer Mühle

The tour starts at the Mühlsteig bus stop in Rosenthal or at the Schweizermühle parking lot. Passing through the customs houses, you’ll reach the “Fußweg zum Schneeberg” bus stop (in summer, you can also take the bus directly to this stop). Follow the “yellow line” trail markers past the hiking border crossing on the right until you reach the upper end of the Dürrebielegrund. Passing climbing peaks such as the Dürrebielenadel and the Falkenwand, walk down to the right toward the Nymphenbad. After the Nymphenbad, continue left toward Grenzplatte up the gently ascending Bielagrundweg. After 700 meters, turn right and pass the Small and Large Boundary Stones. Now the ascent to the Grenzplatte begins. When you reach the next intersection, leave the trail marked with the “yellow line” and keep to the right. You will now follow the trail marked with the “red line” downhill along the Wormsbergweg to the Ottomühle. On the road toward Schweizermühle, turn right behind the parking lot onto the path marked with a “yellow dot.” You then have the option to take a detour up the stairs to the Bielablick viewpoint and on to Felsengasse. The trail then continues past the Bielablick—with its many breathtaking views of the valley—to the Schweizermühle.
